[ruby-core:47749] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7055] Allow `.foo=` as a synonym of `self.foo=`

From: "alexeymuranov (Alexey Muranov)" <redmine@...>
Date: 2012-09-30 09:07:09 UTC
List: ruby-core #47749
Issue #7055 has been updated by alexeymuranov (Alexey Muranov).


@stomar, maybe you are right that `self.foo =` is more readable than `@.foo =` or `.foo =`, especially for someone who would see it for the first time.  However, then it seems to me that `bar = self.foo()` is also more readable than just `bar = foo`. Maybe i do not understand what exactly is meant by "readability" here.

I agree that 4 characters is not a lot to be replaced with 1, but if all 4 were removed, as in the original proposal, i would have liked it.

Feature #7055: Allow `.foo=` as a synonym of `self.foo=`

=begin
I propose to make the use of `self` in method calls optional:

  .foo = 'bar'

instead of

  self.foo = 'bar'

This only matters of course for assignment methods, to distinguish a method call from creating or setting a local variable.
